The vi editor is a very distinct part of UNIX ideology. It cannot be avoided if you are a serious hacker. Several low level utilities use vi. Of course there is ed which is even more low level. vipw, crontab -e all use vi You simply cannot escape it. Of course I am talking about real UNIX which nobody in LUG seems to know. They only know Ubuntu, Redhat or Suse or some commercial Linux meant for beginners. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
